I have a few questions first of all why is it that you cant buy resistance kits in the shop, were they taken out of the game?

And why is the matchmaking cap at lvl 20? i thought it would be something like 10.

Resistance kits are now rare items. Only way to get them is to buy item boxes.

The second one I'm not so sure on. I know it's to stop noob bashing however I don't see why it is set so high.

Okay...

for now, we did 2 small fixes:

1. Heat shield
The damage absorption has decreased. For example the epic heat shield level 5 has now a total absorption of 59% instead the 85% that it was before

2. Newbie level cap
Instead of 20, its now starting at level 15

We are working hard on other tweaks to have it more balanced... Stay tuned!

I dont understand why the shields absorb more as they have higher levels. Maybe the two shields should have weaknesses. Like explosive damage is only covered at 20% and for Energy shields energy damage is only covered at 20-25%

They already have a weakness. Explosive damage adds more heat to a heat shield so you can bring it down quicker. Electrical damage depletes energy shields quicker :)

I dunno if any specific weakness will be added but I know that they are weaker than before, both shields' damage abrosption rate(NOT PERCENT) is halved, meaning it takes double the heat or double the energy to block damage than it did before,
Also, like it was before, electrical weapons deal energy damage and explosive weapons deal heat damage, further reducing the effectiveness of the shield.

The idea of the updates are to remove any huge advantages/disadvantages in the game.

Also, weaker shields = more damage dealt = shorter battles.
I prefer shorter (15 turns) battles over long (60 turns) battles though.
